December 12, 2025

The Office of the Auditor-General has invoked its constitutional powers to surcharge former top officials of the National Service Authority (NSA) and their collaborators in a move to recover GH¢2.4 billion unlawfully paid from state coffers.

Following a Technical and Forensic Audit of the National Service Authority (NSA) systems, which the office describes as a “well-orchestrated conspiracy” designed to systematically defraud the state, the Auditor-General, Johnson Akuamoah Asiedu, has written to the officers involved to pay the amounts totalling GH¢2.4 billion in lieu of justification.
